I hope all goes well

Then what he is doing is illegal. He is violating certain privacy acts and can be sued or arrested. You can seek legal action and I can see why you would feel unsafe.

What is being done is illegal. You have rights as a tenant. He cant go in without your permission and he has to state why he is coming in. Does he live in the house with you?

I love singing while cleaning, singing in the shower, reading young adult books/fiction books, drinking and smelling tea, and walking in nature. They usually make me feel better and grounded.

It sounds like she might have post partum depression and her hormones are still adjusting. That being said, it's still not right to abuse anyone despite all of that and if the situation is unsafe for the children and she refuses help, the only thing that you can do is leave and fight for the...

Going through something like that can make a person fearful of trusting others. So just take it as slow as she needs and dont push her to talk about it (i have no idea if you are) and just be patient with her. The best thing you can do is be there and listen. Kudos for wanting to understand and...

Growing up I lived in a same situation, my parents had a family home, so I can understand that too. We would take them out to amusement parks/vacations and pretty much anywhere we could. They became apart of our family and encouraged them to go out to programs that held dances/art what have you...

Thank you!

I have had depression/anxiety for as long as I can remember. Last year I flew from America to Japan for my husbands work. I brought our son (he is 18 months) with us and I think this whole thing was a bad idea. Moving here, i quit therapy till i got back and I agreed to moving to get away from...

I'm sorry you went through that and glad you are here today to tell your story. My mom is a narcissist and my father is an enabler. It took a while to accept that about them. The only thing I could do was set boundaries, whether that was physically moving far away or cutting any interaction...

You know you have PTSD when... you spend a lot of time walking around the house searching for things you put away and can't remember where they are or forgetting details of your week. You amp yourself up to go outside and tell yourself its gonna be okay. When you go out it's fine for a bit...

I'm feeling this more so than usual today. I will connect with loved ones and they take my thoughts personally, like I'm depressed because of them, which is not true at all. It's hard, but sometimes, I have to take a step back and realize they will never truly understand what I'm going through...

Not exactly to yours, but during my teen years and even young adult years, I had imaginary friends. I knew they weren't real, but it was my escape to reality. I would go through painful experiences and also have them as a support system that wasn't there in my real life. I felt very ashamed...

Thank you! I shouldn't forget that. Since being in the forums for a few days now, it's been comforting and an outlet. There are so many people here who I can relate too and it makes me feel less alone, so thank you.

I'm in that situation right now. I moved to Japan for almost a year because my husband has work here and it sucks for both of us. He is my only support here and I have no access to therapy. I'm just holding on till we go back home.

Your family life sounds just like mine growing up. My mom cares about image and controlling every aspect at home life. Your partner sounds like my partner with a few differences. I think you should work through with therapy and I think your partner needs help as well. I can only see it being...

It's never to late to get help. The trauma may have been a very long time ago, but it can still affect you today. I would try to ignore the remarks about wallowing in it. They didn't go through what you did, so they have no clue why it bothers you.

Constantly losing things and putting stuff in strange places. Sometimes I have eaten food without realizing I did.

I met my SO when I didn't want to date, I had the intent of making friends and staying single. So the conversation didn't get brought up until he told me personal stuff about him and how he had family members who went through the same kind of trauma i did. It was around a month of just hanging...

Thank you. I do want to change. I've reached out to someone I know back home (I'm currently in Japan right now). She understood the situation because she too has had the same situations happen to her. I told her I would visit her and hang out. I plan on going through with it because I'm done...

There are a few people I know who have gone through similar experiences and I should reach out to them. I've been afraid, but from what I've noticed, they seem to be caring people and maybe they will understand why I have been so quiet.

Thank you *hugs*. It's nice to know that it's possible. For a while, I thought this inability to connect was impossible to change and its reassuring to hear that someone in the same predicament was able to overcome. It gives me hope

My 1 year old sons smile and laughter is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and heard.

I'm hoping this place will help me feel more comfortable talking to others
